Indices Overcame Weakness to Post Gains With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks overcame early weakness to finish higher Thursday. The Dow added 208 points to 25,289 while the S&P 500 climbed 28 points higher to 2,730. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 122 points to 7,259. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, indicative of lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 11 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 10 on the prior session. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, bullish action last week marked a shift in the market direction (M criteria) confirming a new uptrend, however, pressure returned as leadership has again grown thin. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Strict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average overcame early weakness and managed "positive reversal" after sputtering below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and toward the prior low. The solid follow-through day on 11/07/18 was noted as a reassuring sign, however, subsequent losses undercutting the Day 1 lows would technically end the latest confirmed rally.

The S&P 500 snapped a five session losing streak as strong corporate earnings and a rebound in Tech stocks overcame uncertainty from overseas. In geopolitics, several U.K. cabinet officials announced their resignations overnight, causing further questions on future Brexit plans. On the data front, a report showed retail sales spiked 0.8% in October, the largest increase in five months. Separately, initial jobless claims came in at 216,000 in the most recent week.

The Technology sector jumped as Apple (AAPL +2.47%) rebounded but remained below its 200 DMA line. Cisco Systems (CSCO +5.50%) boosted the group, finishing the session higher after the company bested quarterly profit estimates. Meanwhile, Walmart (WMT -1.96%) lagged the broader market advance as the company’s shares slipped. The world’s largest retailer’s positive quarterly report was offset by news that Warren Buffett dissolved his equity stake. Homebuilders also struggled as KB Homes (KBH -15.34%) fell after it cut its current quarter guidance. The Utility sector also underperformed as PG&E (PCG -30.68%) dove amid continued uncertainty surrounding its role in the California wild-fires.

Treasuries were little changed as the yield on the benchmark 10-year note declined one basis point to 3.11%. In commodities, WTI crude advanced 0.4% to $56.49/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.3% to $1,213.60/ounce.

Financial, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Bank Index ($BKX +1.69%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.43%) posted gains but the Retail Index ($RLX -0.02%) finished flat. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +3.34%) and Biotech Index ($BTK +2.93%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX +1.95%) as the tech sector rebounded. Commodity-linked groups also had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.78%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.65%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.30%) all posted solid gains.

PICTURED: The Biotech Index ($BTK +2.93%) remains below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after recently slumping near its 2018 low.

Extended From Base After More Gain With Above Average Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

C M E Group Inc (CME +$3.50 or +1.86% to $191.56) hit another new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain. It is extended from the prior base. It found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($179) and made gradual progress since reporting earnings +22% on +2% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. The 50 DMA line and prior low ($170.04 on 9/28/18) define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/26/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Near High After Latest Earnings Report Below +25% Minimum". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited base on its 9/05/18 high plus 10 cents in the 10/04/18 mid-day report (read here).

Earnings increases in the Mar and Jun '18 quarters were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with solid sales revenues increases. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been steady.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,688 in Dec '17 to 2.018 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has earned an A Timeliness Rating.

Additional leadership in the group (L criteria) is a reassuring sign. However, several of its peers in the Financial Services - Specialty group stumbled in recent weeks. Its low Industry Group Relative Strength rating of 49 is a concern, plus the noted weakness in Financials which has been covered repeatedly in the Industry Group Watch section of recent After Market Reports.
